Abstract
In this paper, we go through different notions of sustainabilityand urban sustainable relationships in recent scientific literature. We link some of those notions to aspecific event: crossing the street in points controlled by traffic lights. We use a distinctive approach to temporality in the realm of the aforementioned relationships. Thus, we introduce the notion of vertical time opposing the traditional one that we call horizontal time. Finally, we offer a couple of examples taken from a field diary constructed on the basis of Actor-Network Theory (Latour, 2005, 2002, 2001) and the thick descriptionas proposed by Clifford Geertz (2003). We conclude that urban sustainable relationships are complex,and to understand them it is necessary to take into account human and non-human agents; i.e., intersubjectivity and interobjectivity (Latour, 2005).
